What is the Internet? Do you use the internet to search for any topic, send a message to your friend, play a game, etc.? Have you ever wondered how the internet works and what it is? We use the internet in many instances in our lives. The internet is a network that connects computers all over the world. You can communicate with people and transfer data from anywhere around the globe with a web connection. The internet is also known as the ‘net’. In this chapter, you will learn what exactly the internet is and its advantages and disadvantages. Let us surf the internet and realise its benefits!

History of the Internet The history of the internet is fascinating and has evolved over several decades. The foundation of the Internet was laid in the early 1960s. The U.S. Department of Defense established Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPANET) in 1969. ARPANET was created using a group of personal computers at various colleges for sharing information and messages. The key protocol for internet communication is called the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which allowed computers on different networks to communicate with each other. ARPANET and the Defense Data Network officially adopted the TCP/IP standard on January 1, 1983, marking the transition to the modern internet. This date is often considered the official birthday of the internet. The adoption of TCP/IP made it possible for different computer networks to communicate using a common language, enabling the global network we know as the internet today.

Communication: The internet has revolutionised the way we communicate. It allows people to connect instantly through email, social media, video calls, and messaging apps, making it easy to stay in touch with family, friends, and colleagues worldwide.

Online Learning: The internet offers access to a vast number of educational resources and online courses. Students and learners of all ages can acquire new skills, take courses, and earn degrees from the comfort of their homes.

Maps and Navigation: Online maps and GPS services help people find addresses, get directions, and navigate unfamiliar places effortlessly. Services like Google Maps provide real-time traffic updates and even public transportation options.

Online Shopping: E-commerce platforms have made shopping more convenient than ever before. People can browse and purchase products from a wide range of retailers, without leaving their homes. Online shopping also offers the advantage of comparing prices and reading reviews.

Online Payment: The internet has streamlined financial transactions through online payment systems like PayPal and Paytm, and digital wallets. Such services make it secure and easy to send and receive money, pay bills, and make online purchases.

Disadvantages of the Internet Despite many advantages, the internet has some disadvantages too. Wastage of Time: The internet has a lot of information that can kill people’s time while surfing the internet. Impact on Health: People may become addicted to using the internet. It can disturb their minds and affect their physical health in the long run. Spending an excessive amount of time on phones, laptops, or other such devices can cause health problems such as reduced eyesight, lower backache, and neckache. Cybersecurity Threats: The internet, if not used correctly, can be a bit like leaving your front door unlocked. Some not-so-nice people may try to sneak into your personal networks and systems and cause harm for their gain or just for fun. If your computer is not secured, they can gain unauthorised access to your personal documents and other information such as stealing your bank account details and using them for their benefit. 6

Misinformation and Fake News: Sometimes, there can be articles or information posted by random people that is not true. On the internet, these made-up stories can spread fast and confuse everyone. It is, therefore, advisable to check the reality and truthfulness of news before sharing it with anyone. Cyberbullying: On the internet, some people can be mean to others and send messages that may affect them negatively. In some cases, you may not even know these people. If you receive messages from strangers or even known people that start affecting you in an odd way even if not negatively, inform your elders immediately. Lack of Face-to-face Interaction: When you spend too much time on the internet, you may not talk to and play with your friends and family in person. Such instances can affect both your physical and mental health. It is important to balance online and offline time so that you can keep your social skills and friendships strong.

1. Treat others on the internet the way you want to be treated. Do not say or write mean or hurtful things. 2. Write in a way that is easy to understand, and avoid using all capital letters (LIKE THIS) or unnecessary punctuation (!!! or *!?*#), which can seem like shouting or being rude. 3. Do not share other people’s private information without their permission. 4. Before you send a message or post something, think if it is something you would say in person. If not, it may not be nice online either. 5. Do not be mean or make fun of others online. Cyberbullying hurts people, just like physical bullying. 6. Do not share your personal information such as your address or phone number with strangers. It is the same as not talking to strangers on the street. 7. If you use someone else’s work or idea, give them credit, as you do at school with poems or articles. 8. In online discussions, stick to the topic and avoid going off at unrelated tangents. 9. Emojis can help show emotions, but do not use too many. It can be confusing. 10. Sometimes, people on the internet may not respond right away. Be patient and give them time.

Introduction to Google Slides Suppose you had to present on the topic, ‘Conservation of Resources’ and you want to use your computer to present it in a way that is fun and interactive. For this, you can use Google Slides. Google Slides is a presentation tool, provided by Google, that helps users to create and edit presentations. You can add text, images, audio, and videos to a presentation using Google Slides. Some of the common benefits of using Google Slides are: 1. Since it is an online tool, you can create and edit slides from anywhere, as long as you have a connection to the internet. 2. You do not need to save your presentations on regular intervals. They are autosaved to the cloud storage. 3. You can add text, images, audio, and videos in the presentations. 4. You can apply various themes and use different layouts to give an attractive look to your slides. 5. You can edit and format the slides per your requirements. You have already learnt these features in the previous classes. In this chapter, we will explore some more interesting features of Google Slides, such as adding animations and transitions. Let’s get started.

Applying Animation Effects Animation effects are like magic tricks for text, images, or other objects on a computer screen. They make objects move, change their size, or appear and disappear in a fun and interesting way. People use animation effects to make websites, games, and even educational videos more interesting and engaging. Animations are special visual effects that you add to text and different objects on a slide. To apply animation effects in Google Slides: 1. Open Google Slides: In Google Slides, create a new presentation or open your existing one. (https://slides.google.com/) 2. Insert an object: Create or select the object (text, image, shape, etc.) to which you want to add an animation. 3. Motion pane: Click on the Insert menu from the menu bar. Select the Animation option from the drop-down list. The Motion pane will open on the right-hand side.

4. Choose an animation: In the Motion pane, go to the Object Animations section. Here, the first option is Animation type. Click on this option and select an animation from the drop-down list. 5. Start condition: The next option is the Start condition. Select one of the following options from the drop-down list: On click: Animation starts when you click on the slide.

After previous: Animation starts after the previous animation ends. With previous: Animation starts with the previous animation.

6. Applying animation to text: If the object is a placeholder or text box, the By paragraph checkbox will be displayed. If this checkbox is checked, each paragraph of text in the box will be displayed one-by-one. Otherwise, the entire box will be displayed at once. 7. Add more animations: Select an object and click on the Add animation option. 8. Preview the animation: Click on the Play button to check how that animation effect works on the selected object.

2/20/2024 6:56:17 PM

Did You Know? Google Slides allows you to add a “Spin” animation to objects, which can make them rotate like a spinning wheel. This animation can be a creative way to draw attention to specific elements in your presentation, and it’s a fun way to add a little extra flair to your slides. So, if you want to make an object in your presentation spin like magic, you can do it with Google Slides!

Discuss!

How do animations add life to videos and presentations?

Do It Yourself 2A Write T for True and F for False.

To animate text, first click on Slide and then Animation.

Click on the Play button to check how that animation effect works on the selected object.

Applying Transitions Transitions in presentations refer to the visual effects that occur when you move from one slide to another within a presentation. Using transitions in presentations enhances flow, engages the audience, and adds visual appeal. The way one slide follows the other on the screen in a presentation is called transition.

Artificial Intelligence Imagine a robot or computer that can think and do smart things, like recognising objects, listening to commands, and taking appropriate actions, automating several daily routine tasks, and many more. All of this is possible because of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is the capability of a machine, typically a computer or a robot, to mimic human intelligence. Let us learn how it all started.

Evolution of AI The evolution of AI is its story, how AI got smarter and better over time. Let us learn when AI came into existence and how it was developed into the form that we see today. 1. Initial AI (1950s–1960s): AI came into existence in the 1950s. It could only do very simple things, like adding numbers together or following basic instructions. It was not very smart. 2. Learning AI (1970s–1980s): As time went on, people taught AI to learn from information and data on its own. It became better at recognising patterns, like telling the difference between a cat and a dog in pictures. 3. Talking AI (1990s–2000s): AI learnt to talk and understand human language. It could answer questions and have conversations with people, like the chatbots you might have seen online. 4. Super smart AI (Present): Today, AI has become super smart! It can do amazing things, like play chess and other games, drive cars, and even help doctors diagnose diseases. It is getting smarter and learning new things every day. 5. Future adventures (Future): AI is still growing and learning. In the future, it might become even smarter and help us with even more exciting and important tasks, like exploring space, solving big problems, and making our lives better.

Did You Know? One of the most significant milestones in the field of AI was the creation of the first artificial neural network in the late 1950s. Developed by Frank Rosenblatt, it was called the “Perceptron.” What makes this particularly interesting is that it served as an early model for machine learning and inspired the development of modern deep learning networks.

Applications of AI Applications of AI are the variety of things that smart computers and robots can do to help us in our daily lives. For example, AI can help us play games, talk to us like a friend, drive cars, and even tell us about the weather conditions. It can help us in doing many daily routine tasks. Some of these are discussed as follows: 1. Smart assistants: AI helps make smart assistants like Siri or Alexa. They can answer questions, set reminders, and play music when you ask them. 2. Video games: AI makes video games more fun. It controls characters in games, making them smart opponents, or helpful allies. Minecraft and Stockfish are a few examples of AI video games that are widely played by people. 3. Chatbots: AI helps create chatbots on websites. These chatbots can chat with you and answer your questions, like assisting you when you are shopping online. The most common chatbots that we have interacted with are Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Assistant. 4. Recommendations: AI suggests things you might like. For example, it suggests movies on Netflix or songs on YouTube based on what you have watched or listened to before. 5. Self-driving cars: AI helps cars drive themselves safely. The cars use sensors and cameras to see the road and make sure they do not crash. Tesla is a world-famous car manufacturing company that has launched an AI-driven, self-driving car. 6. Healthcare: AI can help doctors by analysing X-rays and MRIs to find problems in your body. It can also remind you to take your medicine on time. For instance, Niramai, a Bengaluru-based app, uses AI to detect early cancer. 7. Language translation: AI can translate one language into another. It helps when you want to talk to someone who speaks a different language. Google Translate is a commonly used AI Language Translator. 8. Robots: AI makes robots intelligent. Some robots can clean your floors, while others can even dance and play music! Sophia is one of the most advanced humanoid robots. 9. Weather forecast: AI helps predict the weather. It uses data to tell us if it is going to be sunny or rainy, so we know what to wear and if we need an umbrella or not. AccuWeather is a very popular weather forecasting app. 64

Introduction to Computer Vision Computer Vision (CV) is a domain of artificial intelligence that focuses on enabling computers and machines to interpret and understand visual information from the real world, typically through cameras. It involves the analysis of images or video streams to identify objects, detect patterns, track movement, and make sense of the visual data. CV is often used for applications like facial recognition, object detection, autonomous vehicles, and medical image analysis. 66

Working of Computer Vision Just think about how we see things and recognise them. When we see things, our eyes capture visual information, which is then transmitted as signals through our optic nerves to the brain. The brain processes these signals, allowing us to recognise and interpret the images we see. Similarly, in computer vision, cameras act as the “eyes” of AI systems. They capture visual data, which is converted into signals by sensors. These signals are then processed by AI algorithms or programs, which interpret the meaning of the visual data, enabling the system to identify objects or images. The following image explains the workings of computer vision.

Computer vision plays a crucial role in the working of two more impressive technologies these days: Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Let us learn about them.

Augmented Reality Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that blends digital content with the real world in real-time. It enhances the user’s perception of reality by overlaying virtual elements on their view of the physical environment. 

AR is commonly used in applications like mobile apps, smart glasses, and heads-up displays to provide additional information or interactive experiences related to the user’s surroundings.



Examples of AR include Pokémon Go, where virtual creatures are superimposed on the real world through a smartphone camera, or AR navigation apps that display directions on the road ahead.

Virtual Reality Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that immerses users in a completely digital or virtual environment. It often involves the use of a headset or goggles that block out the real world and replace it with a computergenerated one. 

VR is used to create fully immersive experiences for gaming, training, simulations, education, and entertainment.



Users in VR can interact with and navigate through a computer-generated world, making them feel as if they are inside that environment.

Did You Know? Virtual Reality (VR) can make you feel as if you are on a roller coaster, flying in space, or even standing on top of Mount Everest, all while you are actually just wearing a special headset in your own room!

5 Creating a Web Page HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it is used to design web pages and web applications using a markup language. In the previous chapter, you learnt about the basic structure of an HTML document. Now, let us look at each part of an HTML document in detail.

Structure of an HTML Document HTML uses specified tags and attributes to instruct browsers on how to display text, which includes format, style, font size, and pictures to display. An HTML document is divided into two parts: Head part: The title and metadata of a web document are contained in the head part. Body part: The content you want to display on a web page is contained in the body part.

Did You Know? HTML is a not a case-sensitive language. For example, HTML tags can be written in both small and capital, which means both <html> and <HTML> are same.

A Document Type Declaration (DTD) should come before the HTML element in your web pages to ensure HTML compatibility. Many web publishing tools automatically include DTD and fundamental tags when you generate a new web page. The basic structure of an HTML document consists of 5 elements. Let us understand each element in detail. <!DOCTYPE html>

The <!DOCTYPE html> tag is referred to as the document type declaration (DTD). Technically, <!DOCTYPE > is • neither a tag nor an element.

This tag informs the browser about the document type. • This tag is an empty element that does not have a closing tag and must not contain any content. • <html>Tag

The <html> tag informs the browser that this is an HTML document. • The <html> tag requires the beginning and ending tags. •

<head>Tag

The head of an HTML document is a section of the document whose content is not displayed in the browser • when the page loads.

It contains the ‘behind the scenes’ elements for a web page. •

ICSE_G6 Term 2.indb 73

2/20/2024 6:56:59 PM

It contains information about the HTML document. • The head section of an HTML document contains the title of a web page, with the help of the <title> tag. • <title>Tag

When you visit a website, the title is shown at the top of your browser and contains the title of the active web page. The <title> tag provides a suitable title for the entire HTML document.

When a web page is saved as a favourite or a bookmark, it appears at the top of the browser window and • provides the page with a suitable name.

A strong page title on a website ensures a higher position in search results. As a result, we must always • include appropriate keyword phrases.

The <title> element must be positioned between the <head> and </head> tags. • There can only be one title element per document. • <body>Tag

The primary content of an HTML document •

that displays on the browser is specified by the <body> tag. Headings, text, paragraphs, images, tables, links, videos, etc., can all be included in a <body> tag.

The <body> tag must appear immediately • following the <head> tag.

All HTML documents must have this tag, •

which should be used only once overall in a document.

Creating an HTML Document

Did You Know? Did you know that the concept of optimising website page titles with appropriate keywords is often referred to as “SEO” (Search Engine Optimization)? SEO is like a digital treasure hunt, where website owners and content creators strategically choose and place keywords to improve their website’s visibility on search engines.

You can create an HTML document using any text editor, such as Notepad or WordPad. To start writing an HTML document on Notepad: 1 Open Notepad on your computer. An untitled Notepad file appears. 2 Type the HTML code in the Notepad file, as shown.

Basic HTML Coding Conventions While writing HTML documents, you should follow the given coding conventions:

• Always declare the document type as the first line in your document. • Use either small or capital letters for element names because mixing capital and small letters may be confusing and difficult to debug.

• Close all HTML tags, wherever required. In HTML, if you do not provide a closing tag with some of the basic

tags (for example, the <p> element), you will not get any error. However, it is strongly recommended to close all the HTML elements.

• Try to keep your code lines short. • Do not add blank lines, spaces, or indentations without a reason. For readability, add two spaces for indentation.

• Never skip the <title> element. • You can use comments in the HTML code to make it readable and to debug it easily. An HTML comment can be given as follows:

• Always save the HTML documents with the ‘.html’ extension.
